Gloria, she delivered my meal to me 2 days of my stay in the hospital. She was absolutely the sweetest. I mentioned I don’t eat pork just because I don’t care for it. She remembered each time I received an alternate meal when pork was supposed to be the main course.

It's alright. They have the same ol' same ol'. But it's okay. Crossing the street is a different matter. Not only do you have to watch out for other drivers.......WATCH OUT FOR THE EMPLOYEES DRIVING THE CARTS BECAUSE THEY DEFINITELY ARE NOT LOOKING OUT FOR YOU!!!!!!!

I work in a hospital out of state and wish we had the amount of choices this one does. A whole meal with a large drink was under $10. Lots of places to sit and is cool there is another spot with Starbucks, Nothing Bundt Cakes, and sushi options.
